Khat Ar Shnong covers a distance of 52 Kms from Shillong.

Khat-ar-shnong itself is a memorable experience – as the roads hug the mountainside while you glance at the gorges below from your ride. Khat-ar-shnong refers to a valley region in East Khasi Hills, which has been isolated for a long time due to the terrain. Kongthong is the most prominent village because of its striking location and its unique tradition where residents of the village are assigned a tune that also serves as a unique ID. The residents of the Kongthong, known as the Whistling Village along with people from the nearby villages have been practising this tradition which is called the ‘jingrwai iawbei’ for generations.
Hardcore trekkers who want to avoid the usual roadways can trek to Kongthong by navigating the terrain between the famed Pynursla and Sohra ridges. (Always hire local guides – they have the best stories and knowledge and will keep you comfortable and safe).
